PASTORAL CARE

Our faith compels us to reach out to those who are going through hard times in their lives, whether it be facing an illness and not being able to attend Sunday Mass, or suffering the loss of a loved one and wanting to arrange for a funeral mass, or struggling emtionally at times of transistion or serious sickness. We are here for you at all stages of life and encourage you to consider being there for others in their times of need. Below are some ways we as a parish serve those struggling.
